Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Rich Man? Yokel?

Zhu Qianying hesitated for a moment, "Hmm?!"

Then, she remembered Cheng Ye’s relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Lei, "Did Cheng mention this to Mrs. Lei?"

This time, it was Mrs. Lei who was taken aback.

Turns out, Yan Han had made grand efforts to sort out a bunch of punks and the jewelry store boss for this girl, and she had no idea?

"Hehe..." Mrs.Lei laughed ambiguously, trying to brush it off.

If Yan Han wasn’t saying anything, he must’ve had his reasons. And she thought it would be better for the people involved to explain this matter.

Zhu Qianying didn’t catch the true meaning behind Mrs. Lei’s "hehe", and took it as a confirmation of her guess.

"Back then, when I was being continuously harassed, as a mother, who wouldn’t treat their child as their life? Cheng is my most trusted good friend, which is why I could only ask him to help me send my son back home."

From her words, Mrs. Lei pretty much confirmed her suspicion that Zhu Qianying was indeed unaware of what Yan Han had done for her previously.

In order to validate her conjecture, Mrs. Lei probed further, "You could have talked to Xiao Yan about this, after all, he’s the child’s father and shares the responsibility."

Zhu Qianying shook her head immediately, "He’s too busy, I don’t want to bother him with these small matters!"

The excuse that he’s too busy, it’s such an all-purpose one!

Zhu Qianying gave herself a mental thumbs up for her own cleverness!

And Mrs.Lei, through these few interactions, had subtly sensed something unusual. However, some things are not for her to gossip about, since much is based only on her speculations.

Besides, matters of feelings are the most complicated and difficult to understand in the world. It’s better to let the people involved clear things up and resolve them. As an onlooker, it’s better to say nothing.

"Shadow, you are so considerate. Xiao Yan is lucky to have a wife like you."

Before, Mrs. Lei had a few interactions with Zhu Qianying and had a good impression of her. But, it was just a good impression.

After all, neither Mrs. Lei nor Zhu Qianying were people who could easily open themselves up to others.

But now, thanks to Yan Han, she understood Zhu Qianying more deeply. She realized that this girl was not just bold and proud at work. Outside of work, she was probably much more reserved.

Getting along with such a person was not difficult. However, becoming her confidant and support was far from easy.

It seems that Xiao Yan has a long way to go to truly resolve all past misunderstandings with this girl!

"Mrs. Lei, you’re overestimating me!" Zhu Qianying felt that Mrs. Lei was just making polite remarks.

After all, between her and Yan Han, apart from the facade of conjugal affection they strived to create, there were no other deeper feelings shared. How could they be considered as ’considerate’? And even less so, how could they be considered as ’happy’?

Mrs. Lei thought it better not to say anything else, and just politely accompanied Zhu Qianying through a lot of guests who became extremely enthusiastic due to Zhu’s.change in status.

Mrs. Lei was no strange to the guests’ ultra-realistic reactions.

In this world, who isn’t someone following profit and avoiding harm while they’re alive?

Of course, matters of the heart are another story which is why people are often told "Never let emotions get in the way!"

Which is to say, matters involving feelings are fundamentally unrelated to self-interest, and are often in contrary to it.

And currently, Yan Han was the best embodiment of this rule.

Thinking about Zhu Qianying’s various reactions when mentioning Yan Han, Mrs. Lei mentally lit a row of candles for Yan Han in her heart.

Yan Han and Mr. Lei came back after taking a round at the cocktail party and Yan Han still remained composed and unrestrained. In comparison, Mr. Lei didn’t mirror the same composure.

Perhaps it was because of his limited alcohol tolerance that a touch of drunken flush appeared on his face.

"Mrs. Lei, thank you for taking care of Shadow," Yan Han courteously smiled at Mrs. Lei.

Mrs. Lei nodded with a smile, "Xiao Yan, you don’t need to be so formal with me."

She then left with Mr. Lei to take a briefly rest in a nearby relaxation area.

The moment Yan Han returned, he naturally brought Zhu Qianying back to his side, with his big hand gently resting on her slim waist accentuated by her cheongsam.

He picked up a glass of fruit juice from a waiter and handed it to Zhu Qianying.

"How are you feeling so far?"

Zhu Qianying accepted the fruit juice and nodded, "I’m doing okay!"

She had attended many such occasions. But previously, she was attending in the capacity of Ying Jewelry’s chief designer, whereas now, she was attending as Mrs. Yan, which was drastically different both in terms of treatment and experience.

"Can you spare this coming evening? Lei brother has invited us to his house."

Yan Han winked at Zhu Qianying who understood immediately.

"Of course I can!" Zhu Qianying had heard of Mr. Lei’s extensive antique collection before.

At that time, all she could do was hear about it. After all, they were from different circles, and a visit to his house would be out of the question.

But now, given the opportunity was right in front of her, why would she let it slip by?

About another ten minutes later, the MC on the stage prompted the guests to sit according to the table numbers on their invitations and announced that the charity auction would officially start in ten minutes.

Zhu Qianying was there as Cheng Ye’s assistant, by logic, she ought to sit at the same table as Cheng Ye.

But just a word from Mr. Lei was enough to get the organizers to place her seat next to Yan Han.

Given that Yan Han was a super-wealthy man from China, the organizers took him very seriously. Even though Zhu Qianying insisted that she needed to sit next to Cheng Ye, in the end, she remained at the same table with Yan Han, Mr. and Mrs. Lei.

As for the reason she wanted to sit next to Cheng Ye; firstly, she had to consider Cheng Ye’s face, and secondly, Yan Han was a layman in this area, and she could imagine how boring it would be to sit next to him.

Indeed, once the auction started, her communication with Yan Han was mostly in this manner:

Do you like it? If you do, bid for it!

You don’t like it? Why? Is it because it’s too expensive?

In the end, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but take out her mobile phone and send him a message, "Sir, could you please let me enjoy this quietly? I just want to watch, not to buy!"

It was a joke, these antiques and jewelry with starting bids in the tens of millions, how could she, an average person, afford to buy them?

Yan Han had come with the idea of lavishly buying something as a way to win her over. But this plan didn’t succeed in making her laugh, instead, it drew her distaste.

Yan Han lowered his head to read the message on the screen and felt that two large characters were crawling across the screen:

Country Bumpkin!
